I have wondered this for a while, and a recent message I received got me thinking about it. Did bob sharp produce oil filler caps.

This is a picture of mine and I am not sure if it is directly from Bob Sharp, or something that was made with a hot glue gun in somebodies garage. It sure does look like somebody stuck a decal on a oil filler cap. Is this an original piece or something somebody made up.

I need the help of Datsun Jedi Counsel.

I remember seeing this BSR cam cover on HybridZ earlier this year. Bad picthre but it seems to have a similar cap:

Better pic of another one:

The decal is similar but the caps are not.

Same decal/sticker. One is on an oem cap the other is on a aftermarket cap.

The "decal" is actually a thin "tin" or aluminum disc we had made up for

multiple uses. It could be (and was) applied to various components on

Bob Sharp specialty cars; it was also available for one to apply to

aftermarket items such as horn buttons, gearshift knobs, alloy wheel

center caps, key fobs, and whatever else the imagination could conceive.

Most items such as the above when purchased from the Bob Sharp

catalogue already had the disc applied.

That is amazing. What a great piece of history.

I'll look under the hood next week and see what's there but I really doubt they used anything "bling" like the oil filler cap in a real race car. I know that neither the Tom Cruise, the 240/280 BSR or the 280ZXTT have any of these items on them.

That said I need to check if the 240/280 engine had a BSR valve cover.
